Six roses. Six vials of blood. Six visits to a vampire who could be her salvation… or her damnation. Lilith has been dying since the day she was born. But while she long ago came to terms with her own imminent death, the deaths of everyone she loves is an entirely different matter. As her town slowly withers in the clutches of a mysterious god-cursed illness, she takes matters into her own hands. Desperate to find a cure, Lilith strikes a bargain with the only thing the gods hate even more than her village: a vampire, Vale. She offers him six roses in exchange for six vials of vampire blood–the one hope for her town’s salvation. But when what begins as a simple transaction gradually becomes something more, Lilith is faced with a terrifying realization: It’s dangerous to wander into the clutches of a vampire… and in a place already suffering a god’s wrath, more dangerous still to fall in love with one.
Six Scorched Roses is a standalone novella set in the Crowns of Nyaxia world. It takes place roughly in parallel, timeline-wise, to The Serpent and the Wings of Night, and Vale and Lilith are significant characters from Book 2 of the Nyaxia series so I was very intrigued to read this. So happy I did! What a fantastic read! I am speechless over how much I loved this. The writing is exquisitely beautiful and transporting. The romance, the banter, both of the main characters, and the beautiful bond they share. I enjoyed their interactions so much and the way Vale looked at her and called her Little Mouse!! I always am a sucker for a man to say my nickname. It will never be enough when it comes to these two. I just loved and enjoyed every second of it.
Easily a five star read! For a novella, it was so angsty it warmed up my heart and made me feel so much. It was so good and so satisfying. If you enjoy fantasy romance, enemies to friends to lovers, pen pals and human/vampire tropes that is filled with banter and hot chemistry than this book is for you! I am still in shock at how such a short story has left a huge imprint on my heart.
